    1903 Springfield NRA Sporter serial # 1366559

    Just purchased a 1903 Springfield NRA Sporter # 1366559 10/30 on the barrel everything is correct does anyone have a book listing the serial numbers?

    I am also new to this computer stuff and struggling with what everything means here.

    Thanks Dave NMN

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Yep, a hit -- listed as an NRA Sporter, sold May 22, 1931.

    Remember the rule -- pictures or it didn't happen!

    I owned a "used" one and then obtained one modified by Griffin & Howe in the 1930s. One of my favorite 1903!
